Suzanne Bocanegra: Intersections

A woman lifts a smiling baby above her head in a nursery, near a crib and a window with blinds and a ruffled curtain. The photo has a vintage, black-and-white look.

Suzanne Bocanegra bears many titles: performing artist, visual essayist, cultural historian, mother. She draws on deep research and personal memoir to illuminate surprising connections between forgotten histories and present-day realities. By using the tools of visual art to test the boundaries of live performance, and vice versa, Bocanegra continually finds new ways to defamiliarize the familiar.

For the 2026–27 Performing Arts Season, the Walker presents Suzanne Bocanegra: Intersections, a portrait of the artist in three parts. The series features two lecture-performances—one beloved, another brand new—along with Valley, a large-scale video installation on view in the gallery April 3–August 22, 2027.

Program support provided by the Martha Gabbert Women Artists Fund.
